Actually, I'm running at msec level 2 ("standard"). At least as of ML 8.1,
that level allowed root logins from the console (I've got telnetd turned
off, and my sshd_conf file has root login disabled. I figure that if
someone has broken into my home, I've got more to worry about then whether
or not someone is trying random root passwords to login to my box... :)
But I'll put that in and see what happens. Thanks for the pointer!

That's good stuff to know about as well. Again, thanks!
